Tasting Note:

Ultreia St Jacques is the entry level red in the Ultreia range and is a blend of vineyards from across the Bierzo region. Although the principal village is still Valtuille del Abajo, Raul’s ceaseless quest for new interesting sites has seen the blend expand and now includes (or is soon to) vineyards from Villafranca del Bierzo, Cacebellos, Corullon and Ponferrada, amongst others, encompassing a vast array of soil types, topographies, expositions and all. Recent expansion may give rise to new single vineyard bottlings, who knows, but what’s known for sure is that some truly magical parcels make their way in to what has to be one of the best value, most characterful wines in Spain. Stylish, composed and remarkably polished winter berries, violets and refreshing fresh raspberries lead in to dustings of carbon and nuanced saline, rocky notes – everything you want from Bierzo. Predominantly Mencia but in reality a field blend of local indigenous varieties. Harvest in Bierzo can last for up to six weeks from the beginning of September, according to the terroir, and St Jacques (named after the Camino de Santiago, aka Chemin de Saint Jacques) is evidence of Raul Perez’s extraordinary vision and understanding of Bierzo’s complex terroirs.

Tax Status Explained

In Bond (IB)

Wines that are stored In Bond have not had UK Duty and VAT paid on them.

Most of our wines are available for purchase under bond, as fine wines often need to be laid down in order to allow them to mature. Many clients choose therefore to store them in our bonded warehouse and pay the tax as and when they wish to get the wines delivered. Please note that Wines purchased In Bond can be exported to non-EU countries without the need for Duty and VAT to be paid.

Duty Paid (DP)

If you wish to get wines delivered for drinking, the duty and VAT will need to be paid as it leaves its bonded state in the warehouse. The wine is then said to be duty paid.

All taxes must be paid in order for us to be authorised to ship or deliver wine (unless the wine is bonded and being moved to another bonded warehouse or being shipped directly outside of the EU.)
